IVF + Egg Donation procedure in IranWhat is In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)?
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a procedure of fertilization where an egg is combined with sperm outside the body, in vitro.
The process involves monitoring and stimulating a woman’s ovulatory process, removing an ovum or ova (egg or eggs) from the woman’s ovaries and letting sperm fertilize them in a liquid in a laboratory. After the fertilized egg (zygote) undergoes embryo culture for 2–6 days, it is implanted in the same or another woman’s uterus, with the intention of establishing a successful pregnancy.
IVF is the most effective form of assisted reproductive technology. The procedure can be done using your own eggs and your partner’s sperm. Or IVF may involve eggs, sperm or embryos from a known or anonymous donor. In some cases, a gestational carrier or surrogate — a woman who has an embryo implanted in her uterus — might be used.
IVF can be time-consuming, expensive and invasive. Your chances of having a healthy baby using IVF depend on many factors, such as your age and the cause of infertility. If more than one embryo is implanted in your uterus, IVF can result in a pregnancy with more than one fetus (multiple pregnancies) which is not a common happening.
Why IVF is done?
Sometimes, IVF is offered as a primary treatment for infertility in women over age 40. IVF can also be done if you have certain health conditions. For example, IVF may be an option if you or your partner has:
Ø Fallopian tube damage or blockage: Fallopian tube damage or blockage makes it difficult for an egg to be fertilized or for an embryo to travel to the uterus.
Ø Ovulation disorders: If ovulation is infrequent or absent, fewer eggs are available for fertilization.
Ø Premature ovarian failure: Premature ovarian failure is the loss of normal ovarian function before age 40. If your ovaries fail, they don’t produce normal amounts of the hormone estrogen or have eggs to release regularly.
Ø Endometriosis: Endometriosis occurs when the uterine tissue implants and grows outside of the uterus — often affecting the function of the ovaries, uterus and fallopian tubes.
Ø Uterine fibroids: Fibroids are benign tumors in the wall of the uterus and are common in women in their 30’s and 40’s. Fibroids can interfere with implantation of the fertilized egg.
Ø Previous tubal sterilization or removal: If you have had a tubal ligation — a type of sterilization in which your fallopian tubes are cut or blocked to permanently prevent pregnancy — and want to conceive, IVF may be an alternative to tubal ligation reversal.
Ø Impaired sperm production or function: Below-average sperm concentration, weak movement of sperm (poor mobility), or abnormalities in sperm size and shape can make it difficult for sperm to fertilize an egg.
Ø Unexplained infertility: Unexplained infertility means no cause of infertility has been found despite evaluation for common causes.
Ø A genetic disorder: If you or your partner is at risk of passing on a genetic disorder to your child, you may be candidates for preimplantation genetic diagnosis — a procedure that involves IVF.
Ø Fertility preservation for cancer or other health conditions: If you are about to start cancer treatment — such as radiation or chemotherapy — that could harm your fertility, IVF for fertility preservation may be an option. Women can have eggs harvested from their ovaries and frozen in an unfertilized state for later use.
Ø Women who do not have a functional uterus or pregnancy poses a serious health risk for them might choose IVF using another person to carry the pregnancy (gestational carrier). In this case, the woman’s eggs are fertilized with sperm, but the resulting embryos are placed in the gestational carrier’s uterus.

Every year many people go to Iran to receive IVF treatment there. Generally, IVF cost in Iran is one fourth of IVF cost in other countries while the quality is compatible with countries such as the USA and Germany. IVF cost along with medical care quality are important factors for couples to choose their medical travel destination.
Due to the latest Iran’s currency devaluation, now high quality medical services are available at much affordable prices. Iran has a good ranking in the world in total medical science especially in infertility treatments. The success rate of IVF in Iran is higher than world average. The average IVF cost in Iran is as affordable as 1,800-2,500$ for one total IVF cycle.
There is a wrong belief that “expensive centers have better results”. It is not a right belief. In fact, there is no meaningful relationship between the success rate of IVF and IVF costs. Specialist’s experience and the couple’s general and mental condition are the main reasons that affect IVF success rate. Anyway, if you have made your decision to do IVF treatment in Iran, you can contact TebMedTourism, the most professional healthcare facilitator in different fields of medical services including infertility treatment.
Egg Donation is the process by which a woman donates eggs to enable another woman to conceive as part of an assisted reproduction treatment or for biomedical research. For assisted reproduction purposes, egg donation typically involves IVF technology, with the eggs being fertilized in the laboratory; more rarely, unfertilized eggs may be frozen and stored for later use. Egg donation is a third party reproduction as part of assisted reproductive technology.
Reasons for using donor eggs
A need for egg donation may arise for a number of reasons. Infertile couples may resort to egg donation when the female partner cannot have genetic children because her own eggs cannot generate a viable pregnancy, or because they could generate a viable pregnancy but the chances are so low that it is not advisable or not financially feasible to do IVF with her own eggs. This situation is often, but not always based on advanced reproductive age.
It can also be due to early onset of menopause, which can occur as early as their 20s. In addition, some women are born without ovaries, while some women’s reproductive organs have been damaged or surgically removed due to disease or other circumstances.
Another indication would be a genetic disorder on part of the woman that either renders her infertile or would be dangerous for any offspring, problems that can be circumvented by using eggs from another woman. Many women have none of these issues, but continue to be unsuccessful using their own eggs—in other words, they have undiagnosed infertility—and thus turn to donor eggs or donor embryos.
The cost of donated eggs can vary based on many variables. Sometimes multiple rounds of IVF + egg donation are needed which can increase the expenses. Fresh donated eggs usually cost about twice the price of frozen donated eggs. The average cost of IVF + egg donation in Iran is about $4000, which is an extremely affordable cost.
It is important to know that worldwide only less than %1 of people used insurance for their Donor Egg IVF process, so it is very rare to have the insurance coverage for this cycle. But the IVF cycle may be covered by your insurance so you can check it with your insurance company in advance. In general, the costs can vary widely among different countries or clinics. It is important to do a research before deciding to start.
